Commuters have been caught in the middle bracing for public transport chaos as Metro and the train drivers union fired off over planned two-day strikes.

‘The opportunity to continue down that path of negotiation to get the best possible outcome for the workplace has been abandoned in place of a strategy that’s all about punishing passengers,’ she told Tom Elliott on 3AW Drive.
